Updates in 2017

Features

• New 64 bit Support - Now runs natively under 64 bit processor environments providing improved performance and memory management.
• Liquid Studio Features
  • New RESTful Web Service Testing - Liquid Studio Web Service Test Client now supports calling RESTful Web Services using WADL or User Defined Web Service calls, along with the existing WSDL/SOAP based functionality. REST (Representational state transfer) Web Services are popular for building lightweight Web Services usually based on simple HTTP GET and POST protocols.
  • Liquid Data Mapper Features - The Liquid Data Mapper has been significantly improved with performance and usability enhancements and now provides support for XML, JSON, EDI, Database, Web Service, CSV and Fixed length text data sources and data targets.
  • New EDI Source and Target Components - Liquid Data Mapper now provides support for the EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) standard. Although this technology has been around for a long time, EDI is still one of the most predominately used data formats especially in legacy computer systems. Liquid Data Mapper provides support for reading and writing documents defined by the EDIFACT and X12 Standards. This allows you to map EDI data between different versions and formats, transform your EDI data into XML, or store it in as fields in a Database.
  • New JSON Source and Target Components - Liquid Data Mapper now provides support for reading and writing JSON files. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format, the new JSON Source and Target components work in the same way as the XML Source and Targets but are specific to using JSON data.
  • New Database Target Component - Liquid Data Mapper now provides support for writing to Databases. Previous versions of the Liquid Data Mapper provided a Database Source to read data from a Database, and we have now added a Database Target component to provide the ability to write your data into Database fields.
  • New RESTful Web Service Component - Liquid Data Mapper now provides support for calling RESTful Web Services. Previous versions of the Liquid Data Mapper provided the ability to call a WSDL defined Web Service, and we have now added the ability to call WADL defined Web Services as well as User Defined Web Service calls.
• Liquid XML Data Binder Features
  • New 64 bit Support - Now runs natively under 64 bit processor environments providing improved performance and memory management.
  • New .Net Portable Class Library Support - Liquid XML Data Binder now support generating C# source code for Xamarin iOS and Android and C# and VB.Net source code for Silverlight 5 as a Portable Class Library. A single Portable Class Library .Net Runtime is provided which works for all of these environments.
  • New .Net Core Support - Liquid XML Data Binder now support generating C# source code for .Net Core. A Nuget package is available containing the Liquid .Net Runtime library for .Net Core environment.
